The device also features quad DACs for audio.
Specifications
The LG V20's overall design contains elements of the LG G5, however it lacks modular capability, but includes a chassis partially made of metal (the top and bottoms are made of silicone), USB Type-C connector, and a rear-mounted power button with integrated fingerprint reader. It is available in silver, dark grey ("Titan"), and pink-color finishes. The V20 features a 5.7-inch 1440p IPS LCD display, coated in Gorilla Glass 4. Similarly to the V10, a second, supplemental display is located at the top of the device to the right of the front-facing camera. The display can be used to display notifications, controls, and marquee display messages. The screen was made larger and brighter than the version on the V10. The V20 includes four ESS Sabre ES9218 digital-to-analog converters (DAC) to enhance sound output; as a compliment, the V20 ships with Bang & Olufsen H3 in-ear headphones. The V20 utilizes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 system-on-chip with 4 GB of RAM. The device includes 64 GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD card, and has a replaceable battery.
The V20 ships with Android 7.0 "Nougat" and LG UX 5.0+ software. It was the first Android device to ship with Nougat.
